Hello,
I am getting a data over RS485 interface in IEC-62056-21 protocol on elster A1140 smart meter. But i get this random generated key from the meter and it hashed with the remote password i put in which is 00000000 and then it sends the hashed password to the meter. I followed bunch of examples in the internet but no success unfortunately. Please help me on this issue. I have put the received frame and the received key and generated password.
example 1:
B0A692CB07930FD1 > this is the received key
61F79994CB6EAD8E > this is the generated password
example 2:
EA864EBC197ED3D3 > this is the received key
BD73F17DA6F4D7BA > this is the generated password
this is the overall frame i am receiving.

This is the problem with IEC 62056-21. The standard doesn't define how password hash is counted and different manufacturers are using different ways to use it. Some meters are expecting plain passwords.
yeah. i tried that formula. we could not get the same answer. Can you maybe use the formula and calculate it to see if you can get the same answer? if i use different password than 00000000 it causes NAK.
There is no Elster A1140 in the office and it's have been so long time when Elster was last time read,
so I'm sorry to say that I can't help you with this.
please help me!
please help me!
I have a same problem!, I'm
I have a same problem!, I'm trying to do A1700's hash algorithm but it not works on A1140.
Hi,
Hi,
Have you tried this formula to count the hash?
